Is IT true that the ladies of Emporia
are showering maudlin attentions upon
Marlborough, the convicted murderer?
Is it true that they are bringing to him
beautiful bouquets of rare flowers?"
IF it is true the ladies of EmpOria are
in very poor business and need the re-
straining influence of their husbands
and fathers.-K. G. Times.
We believe few foolish girls did
send bouquet or two to Marlborough,
but as we have been unable to obtain
their names we cannot give them to the
public. We suppose that ladies who
indulge in this sentimental sympathy
with a convicted murderer are anxious
for notoriety, and in future we will as
sist them all we possibly can by giving
their names publicity. Any bouquets
left at this Office for Marlborough, with
name of donator attached, will be
promptly forwarded and mention made
thereof in these columns.

If there can be a bigger imposition
put on the people of Kansas generally,
and on the inhabitants of this section
in particular, than the so-called fast
mail train from the east, We should be
pleased to know what it is. The mail
from Kansas City and intermediate
points, before this innovation was
made, used to arrive here about noon.
Now it has to wait 80 as TO connect with
the fast mail train, and only arrives
about supper time. This may posi-
bly, be good thing for the st. Louis
papers and for the receivers of eastern
mail at Kansas City, but it is far from
convenient for the people Of the
state of Kansas. We could
better wait until the next
train for our eastern mail than to be
forced to wait for our Kansas City let
tiers and papers, as we now have to do.
The latter mail is of much more conse-
quence to us to receive promptly than
what we receive from the rest of the
entire world. What we want is more
and better mail facilities. With a fast
passenger train arriving here from
Kansas City. at $50 p. m, we see no
good reason why our Kansas City mail
should be held back two or three hours
to keep company with that from
farther east. Our senators and con-
gressmen should see to this.

General Lawton, the new minister to
lieves with Solomon that there is ''noth-
ing new under the sum-" though he
does not use the saying of the wise
man to back up any assertion that he
may make. The general is typical
southerner and dates back to the period
''before the wah." He denies that
there is anything in the condition of
things in his section which justifies the
everyday talk about "the New South. +"
He will have things as they were in the
old time, and, to prove this, he declares
the same men are in the front now as
under the old regime. This is true
enough, AID he might hFve added that,
i'll spite of the emancipation and of the
constitutional privileges guaranteed to
the freedmen, the old-time southerner
is just as much master of the situation
as when the slave pen and auction block
were staple institutions. This is prac-
tically true, and there is no reason for
denying the accuracy of Gen. Lawton's
statement. The colored men, the
0x-slaves, and their descendants have
the legal right of equ atty before the
law, but the legal right don't count.
The old-time southerners are still at
the front, and they manage to nullify
the law which gives the colored man
the right of suffrage as effectively as
they held to the regulation which kept
him from the ballot-box when he was
no more than chattle whose value was
fixed by the number of dollars he would
bring in the open market or by private
contract. 1t is well to be just to GEN
eral Lawton and hold with him that
while the same men are in front and in
control as in the old time, there is

the celebrated Challenge Feed Mills sew
errl years previous to that time. This
company is one OF the largest manufaot
uEers Of geared wind mills, and they ship
them to every part Of this country and
Canada, and to many foreign countries.
While they have manufactured thousands
Of pumping wind mills, and have a very
large trade in that direction, and are
steadily increasing their trade in that
line, yet they make their greatest claims
on their geared mills. and judging from
the hundreds of testimonials shown Us
while in their Office . short time since,
from purchasers having their mills in use
continuously for the past two to twelve
years, they certainly have q mill to be
proud OF, and one that every farmer
could buy with profit.
The greatest trouble among manufact-
urers has been to keep the face of the
wheel squarely to the eye Of the wind,
because as soon rs power was applied to
the wheel the tendency was for the
wheel to creep, swerve or veer round
on the tower. The Challenge folks have
overcome this tendency to sWerve or veer
out Of the wind, and by q simple device
patented by them their geared mills are
held squarely to the wind at all times,
1t matters not whether the wind is blow
ing five or forty miles an hour; the mill
faces the wind under all conditions.
This Is the vital point Of q geared wind
mill, and is SO recognized, we believe, by

WHAT MOBILTZATION -MEANs.

AS our telegraph columns continually
speak of General Boulanger's proposed
mobilization of the French army, and
as the term is one in general use in
European army circles, we have con-
densed the following description from
European correspondence, thinking it
might be of interest to the readers of
THE NEWS:
On certain day dispatch is to be
neous mobilization of all the corps in a
single military district. In order to
make it true test of the efficiency of
the present system, there is to be no
warning in advance of the mobilization
and it will not be known which district
will be selected. An actual state of
war is to be produced in all details. All
the corps are to be transferred from a
peace to war footing. The reserves are
ritorial army is to be con-
eentrated; horses are to be pro-
cured for cavalry; vehicles are to be OBJ
tanned for transport; the railways are
to pass under military control, and mill
itary stores and supplies of all kinds
are to be supplied; brigades of navies
and artisans are to be drilled in the
construction OF nelo railways; ana 1or
fortnight all preparation which would
be ordered in the district in the event
! of an actual declaration of war are to
be made under the supervision of stats.
The cost of this interesting experiment
is estimated at 81 ,O00, 900; but General
Boulanger considers it would be cheap
| at any price, since it will demonstrate
where are the weak spots in the pres
ent military system, and enable him to
perfect the mechanism of war. If the
results justify the repetition of this
movement, another district will be
this way the entire army will gradually
be drilled in the art of passing quickly
l from the neaca to the war basis.

RRLIGION q C0L0R.

That our southern friends have very
peculiar notions regarding the color
line is well known, and in no way are
these peculiar notions more strikingly
exemplifed than in the troubles brought
into church circles below Mason and
Dixon's line. Especially is this SO OF
the Protestant Episcopal church, caus-
ing much heated discussion and prov
ing veritable fire brand in the recent
ninety-seventh annual convention of
the diocese of South Carolina. After
the convention was called to order and
the usual preliminary business dis
patched, the bishop narrated the cir
cumstances which led him to take ex-
ception to the action of the standing
committee in refusing to recommend
for orders a recent colored candidate
for the deconate. He said:
In view of these facts thus simply re-
lated, and taken in connection with the
burning question which has agitated
the diocese for so many years, and con-
vention after convention, and in view
also of the conviction expressed by the
ProteStants in the diocesan convention
assembled in Columbia in 1885, to the
effect that only persons of the white
race were entitled to sit in diocesan
convention-in view, say, OF all these,
I am constrained to believe that the
candidate here spoken Of failed to Sc
cure the approval Of our standing COM
mittee because he was cOlored man.
Now, it becomes this convention to
look this matter sQuarely in the face
so doing in the spirit of meekneSs and
gentleness. Is the action of our stand
ing committe in the instance of Qualities
to become the rule of action? My OWL
conclusion is that it gives notice that
no colored man, be his qualifications
what they may, will be recommended
by the standing committee to holy or.
! ders. Is this also the mind Of the do
cese in convention assembled? l can
not think it. But if it be, then to you
bishop such a mind seems out OF har
mony with the new suffrage in the Lit
any: 20, Lord of the harvest, senC
forth more laborers into Thy harvest.
When the convention proceeded tC
business and the report of the commit
tee on credentials was read spirited
discussion at once arose on the motion
to omit from the lists the name of thu
Rev. J. II. NJ. Pollard (colored), rector
of st. Marks, Charleston. After dis
cussing the matter all day, the conven
ton refused to sustain the motion
Thereupon Mr.. C. G. Meminger, la.
delegate, announced Grace church

convention. Afterward lay delegate

THE New York Sun has been rather
an ardent advocate of the annexation
of Canada to the United States. But
since the exhibition of brutal violence
shown in Toronto toward the gall
liant but imprudent O'Brien, the Sun is
disposed to make reservation in the
consideration of the annexation
scheme, and does it in this way:
We favor the annexation of Canada,
but if that cOwardly mob in Toronto,
including the young rowdies belong
ing to aristocratic families is sample
of its ''best people," we want that
town kept out of the American Union,
at least until decent folks begin to live
in it. There are reservations in this
country in which we keep far more
ancient and aristocTatic families than
can be found apparently among 1.-The

THE following item is going the
rounds of the Kansas press, and, if
there is any truth in it, the sooner En-
poria gets big hole into the bowels of
the earth the better for her. We have
every reason to believe that we are in
the natural gas belt of Kansas, and
that it will be found before we have to
go very deep:
The opinion is rapidly gaining ground
and recent developments have demon
strated to a moral certainty that nat
ural gas can be found almost every
where, and that the forces which pro-
duce.it must necessarily exist in one
place the same as in another. That it
question of the origin of the gas the
philosophy of one man is just about as

SOME of the papers, which are dis
posed to censure the New Jersey court
which recently punished man for
blasphemy, do not give all the facts.
The offense punished was not simply
'blasphemy'' in the technical or bibli-
cal sense, but scurrillous and indie
cent printed publication, calculated to
offend and outrage the feelings of all
refined Christian people-an insult to
the moral instincts of the community.
The blasphemer had published and cir
culated a pamphlet, which contained
pictures of the moot vile and Insulting
kind. In one of them was pig sty
labelled 1.-THE Holy Virgin, - hogs were
branded with the Holy Cross, and
names of different churches. We be-
lieve in the largest liberty in matters OF
faith, or want of faith, but such publ
cations as this should be suppressed by
law in the interest of common decency

Mr.. Nelson Burr, the inventor, who Is .
